Inspiration and motivation

 

In case you haven't heard, yesterday [10^th Sept 2013]  Diana Nyad became the first person to swim from Cuba to Key West without a shark cage.

What's even more impressive is that Ms. Nyad is 64 years old and this is the fifth time in 35 years that she has attempted this 110-mile swim through the Florida Straits, notorious for its strong currents, sharks and swarms of stinging jellyfish.

After completing the 53-hour feat, Ms. Nyad shared this,

"I have three messages...

One is we should never, ever give up.

Two is you never are too old to chase your dreams.

Three is it looks like a solitary sport but it takes a team."

These are three very important lessons for any of us.

Are there things in your practice that you have given up on? Or maybe you think you cannot find success because it has been too hard or too difficult?

One thing I have learned in my own business is that it is never too late to improve! It is never too late to find success regardless of how many times you have tried! And it is definitely never too late to chase down your dreams.

Success is a team sport! If you aren't finding the success you desire, then maybe you need to take a team approach like Diana did.

This is an inspiring story. I hope it helps you re-center and re-focus on what you really want from your practice instead of settling for less...
